[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Everyone I know from law school married another professional. All the people at my job are married to other professionals[/b]. Really wealthy men, at least top 5%, don’t care about a spouse’s income. The other 95%/ those making less than $200K care. Times have changed and we live in a two income society. That doesn’t work well if you marry someone who can’t bring in an income.

DCUM is skewed, because every man here makes over $400K a year. For the rest of America, it matters. For my husband who makes $150K, it mattered. He would “date” women who didn’t make much money, but never consider marrying them. I was marriage material because he was attracted to me and I made money. Enough women running around with decent jobs today that men can hold out for one that makes an income. [/quote]

That's because, silly, professional women dominated those men's social circles.  Those were the women in their dating pool.

These men didn't care about the money or the job titles, only the relative "hotness" of fertility, health and nurture.  Heck, I know lots of guys who married women like this.  They were all "hot."  They didn't marry the homely, overweight and harsh woman with the most "professional accomplishments."

We care about the latter very much in evaluating job candidates, just not in evaluating potential mates.  Women just don't get that and demand that we "should be" attracted to those whom you direct.

It ain't never going to happen, sorry.   [/quote]

Yes, but most of these women are not hot. I’m not hot. My colleagues are not hot. When you say men want hot women, you must mean reasonably cute and not ugly. That’s much different than men only want hot women.  And in these cases, men will take cute and making a salary over not cute or low earner.  With the very attainable cute standard, finding a mate that also makes a solid living is very attainable. [/quote]
